The UK’s biggest global breakthrough artist of 2016, Jonas Blue, has today unveiled his new single ‘Mama’ feat. Australian singer/songwriter and YouTube sensation William Singe. Platinum hitmaker Jonas’ latest release coincides with the start of his debut European tour, which sees him visit Cologne, Amsterdam and Paris with a full live band, finishing off with a headline show at London’s Heaven next Wednesday, 10th May. ‘Mama’ flaunts a hooky marimba melody and rumbling snares, underpinning Singe’s striking vocal performance. Jonas co-wrote ‘Mama’ with Ed Drewett (Little Mix, One Direction, Olly Murs) and Sam Romans (Disclosure, Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys).

Jonas comments:

“Mama is a song about that period of your life when you’re young and carefree, without stress, bills and problems and all you care about is having a good time with your friends every day and night!”

Having sold almost 13 million singles and been streamed two billion times, Jonas Blue is now ready to build on his monumental success in the coming months. His debut single, ‘Fast Car’ became 2016’s biggest-selling single globally from a British debut artist and earned him two BRIT award nominations – ‘British Single’ and ‘British Artist Video’. Jonas’ second single ‘Perfect Strangers’ picked up Platinum sales awards around the globe while his third release ‘By Your Side’ helped launch the career of rising British artist Raye. Overall, Jonas Blue sold more singles in the UK last year than Clean Bandit, Ellie Goulding, Olly Murs and Zayn Malik. He was also the only artist to have two songs included on MTV’s global list of most played videos in 2016. Alongside these accolades, Jonas has just been announced as the next VEVO LIFT artist of 2017, following in the footsteps of Sam Smith, James Bay, Years & Years and Rag N Bone Man. Australian vocalist and YouTube sensation William Singe has rapidly taken the world by storm with over 3 million Facebook followers and counting. Singe developed a massive social following showcasing his vocal talent through video uploads to YouTube, resulting in his being signed to a record deal with RCA Records. William is also a live act to be reckoned with, having toured consistently on nine tours over the last year globally, selling out shows and performing to over 150,000 fans. Following the announcement of his signing with RCA earlier this year, Singe released his debut single “Rush” to much critical acclaim with Forbes naming him one of “5 Alternative R&B Artists To Look Out For In 2017.” Set to become this year’s summer anthem, it’s certain that ‘Mama’ will to add to the excitement surrounding Jonas Blue.
Upcoming Live Dates:

Firmly established as one of the most consistently strong dance acts on the scene right now, Sweden’s Vigiland are set to drop their latest unique sound. Getting released via Universal Sweden, ‘Friday Night’ will land with a bang on April 28th. It’s hard to keep up with the vast success the duo has had on Spotify, with previous releases including ‘UFO,’ ‘Shots & Squats’ and ‘Pong Dance’ racking up hundreds of millions of streams. Vigiland were also asked to perform live at last year’s MTV MIAW Awards in Mexico with the cast of Acapulco Shore.

The inspiration for this brand new track has an interesting backstory, with Vigiland saying of its creation:

“We had a night out in Stockholm a few months ago, and there was a bouncer acting like an a**hole to some guests in the line, and eventually didn’t let them in… We got inspired in the studio the next day and the outcome is ‘Friday Night!”

Featuring some of Vigiland’s signature production traits including driving guitar hooks, highly memorable and utterly infectious lyrics and a punchy bounce/house beat, ‘Friday Night’ is a dancefloor weapon with bite; it will draw you straight in with its narrative story-telling and melodic zing.

Rotterdam talent Fais has seriously impressed with his Afrojack collaborations ‘Used To Have It All’ and ‘Hey’, and he now returns with his first solo track. The glorious new single, ‘Ask Me Tomorrow’, once again marks him out as one to watch.

Fais’ soulful tones glide over swirling, phasing synth chords, with a sharp beat and gentle arpeggios building things up. The chorus adds electric guitar rhythm and uplifting chord progressions as he shows off his vocal range. Topped off with strings playing a counter melody, it’s a great song which you can easily hear being reworked and remixed in spectacular fashion.

With a background of classical piano training to match his dulcet tones and song writing prowess, Fais has all the ingredients needed to make a true pop star. He won a national singing competition in the Netherlands back in 2010 which led to performances at New York’s Apollo Theatre, and since then he’s been collaborating with a range of producers, artists and DJs as a songwriter and vocalist.

With over 200 million streams to his name, an acclaimed MTV EMA performance alongside Afrojack and Ty Dolla $ign and multiple awards including four Platinum Awards, Fais is making big waves. Splitting his time to write songs between his home Rotterdam in The Netherlands and Los Angeles, he is currently working on new music for an EP and an album. With Hey peaking at #2 in the Dutch Top 40 and receiving over a million views a day on YouTube, it’s clear that he is well on the way to becoming a major star.

After a short break away from music, British singer-songwriter Pixie Lott is back with a bang and drops her brand new single Baby this Friday!

Pixie has teamed up with DJ Anton Powers for Baby, an uplifting dance smash that is sure to be all over the dancefloors this Summer. The 26-year-old, who has scored three #1’s and sold over 1.6 million albums worldwide, is back to what she does best and this is proof that she is one of the best vocalists the UK has to offer.

Speaking of the single, Pixie added:

“I’ve been away in the studio for the past few months and I can’t wait for my fans to hear everything I’ve been working on – it feels like a new chapter for me. I had a lot of fun working with Anton on Baby. We first met years ago when he remixed my song Gravity but we bumped into each other in Ibiza last Summer and I knew he was someone I wanted to work with again.”

Pixie and Anton will premiere Baby on TV this coming weekend with a very special performance on ITV’s The Voice Final. Baby will also be launched to radio and clubs the same weekend so will undoubtedly start rising up the airplay and streaming charts in the coming weeks.

During her break, Pixie showed no signs of slowing down. She spent months in the studio, quietly working on her fourth studio album due for release in 2018. Always keen to broaden her talents, she also made a move into acting, starring as Holly Golighty in Breakfast At Tiffany’s to rave reviews. She also turned her attention to fashion, making her catwalk debut at the Dolce & Gabbana A/W show last month and shooting for international titles Paper and US Esquire, out this month. She was also announced as a Coach on the first season of The Voice Kids, alongside will.i.am and Danny Jones, which hits our screens this Summer.

Pixie has delivered 3 UK number-one singles, sold over four million tracks, embarked on numerous worldwide tours, sold 1.6 million albums worldwide and written songs for some of the world’s biggest stars including Selena Gomez. Pixie has collaborated with legendary artists including Stevie Wonder and John Legend. Her songs have been used as the soundtrack to countless movies and she has received in excess of 65 million YouTube views. She is a four-time BRIT Award nominee and the winner of two MTV European Music Awards.

Anton is one of the UK’s most in demand DJs and producers and has rocked some of the biggest venues and festivals in the world including Amnesia, Pacha, Creamfields and Tomorrowland. His collaboration with Philip George on Alone No More reached #4 on the Official Singles Chart and clocked up over 400,000 sales and 27 million streams on Spotify alone. Anton’s recent album Power House topped the UK Compilation Charts earlier this month. As a member of Cahill, he has remixed for some of the world’s biggest artists including Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Cheryl and Ellie Goulding.

Alma’s extraordinary soulful voice and sharply observed lyrics hit somewhere between Sia and Amy Winehouse. Perhaps understandably the world wants to know where and the how the 21-year-old Finnish powerhouse (currently working with MNEK, Rudimental, Charlie XCX, Sub Focus and 2 Inch Punch) began her career in music. “I don’t think I ever really started,” Alma recalls:

“It’s just when I was little, I understood that singing made me feel things. It made me feel safe, it made me feel good, it made me feel better. It’s how I’ve survived everything, cliché as that sounds.”

Alma needn’t worry about clichés: with her long, electric-neon hair, baggy punk attire and ‘zeros fucks’ magnetic attitude she is everything but the stereotypical pop princess.

“She looks like a cybergoth reimagining of a young Adele and sounds like Beth Ditto had she been raised on tropical house…”

…The Observer wrote recently – they hit the nail on the head.

Germany’s Sony/ATV Music Publishing heard the demos and immediately signed her. But “Finns are naturally pessimistic” Alma explains, so she didn’t let herself get too hopeful. She also wasn’t sure if she was going to be a songwriter or a performer. “But in time, I started to understand that people were really digging my voice and my words together.” She signed with Universal, but still didn’t believe she could break outside of Northern Europe until “my managers and I showed my songs to the Universal UK team and to Republic (now her US label) in New York, and they were like, ‘Fuck yeah!’” Alma’s debut EP, 2016’s Dye My Hair, makes it pretty obvious why, with three euphoric and intricate productions (and one acoustic version) bolstered by her phenomenal voice.

OFFAIAH, the enigmatic producer who rose to prominence last year with the definitive club track of the summer, ‘Trouble’, makes his highly anticipated return this March with ‘Run’.

A kaleidoscope of sound, ‘Run’ entices from the start leading with a piano heavy melody and an infectious flute hook, cementing it as another bonafide floor-filler for the anonymous producer.

Last summer, ‘Trouble’ lit up dancefloors across the world from Ibiza to London to Miami to Cape Town with exceptional momentum. But the record’s success was not confined to nightclub walls – ‘Trouble’ went on to pick up more than 20 million streams and over 350 plays on BBC Radio 1 from all the key tastemakers including Annie Mac, Danny Howard, Pete Tong, Huw Stephens, Grimmy, Clara Amfo and Greg James.

OFFAIAH’s sophomore single ‘Run’ is set to be another dancefloor hit for this summer.

Last year, L.A.-based producer Gryffin delivered two heavy-hitting singles that showcased his deeply melodic take on dance music. With both tracks built on a graceful fusion of indie and electronic elements, “Heading Home (ft. Josef Salvat)” shot to #1 on Spotify’s US and Global Viral charts, while “Whole Heart” (a collaboration with Bipolar Sunshine) hit #2 on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist. Also known for turning out several of the biggest remixes in recent years—including his masterly reworkings of Tove Lo’s “Talking Body,” CHVRCHES’ “Clearest Blue,” and Years & Years’ “Desire”—Gryffin is now offering up his latest original track and bringing his boundary-shattering artistry to bold new heights.

Emotionally charged and irresistibly high-energy, the aptly named “Feel Good” is powered by hypnotic melody, massive beats, and a magnetic vocal performance from singer/songwriter Daya. Fresh off her Grammy Award win for “Don’t Let Me Down” (the multi-platinum smash that earned 2017’s Best Dance Recording prize), Daya lends her soulful vocals to Gryffin’s immaculate arrangement of heavy synth and delicate guitar work. In crafting that arrangement, Gryffin drew equally from his edgy ingenuity as a producer and his carefully honed musicality as a longtime guitarist and classically trained pianist.

“The lyrics that Daya came up with had so much intensity to them—writing about that significant other in your life who puts you in a positive, happy state of mind, even when bad things may be happening in your life or in the world. I wanted the production to reflect that intensity, but at the same time create a really positive vibe…”

…explains Dan Griffith, who’s made music under the name Gryffin since 2014. “My goal with the song was to find that balance, and I ended up hitting it by adding a lot of synth sounds I’d never used before, and by bringing in different guitar textures and then flipping them in a new way. That’s what the Gryffin project is about overall: making electronic music but using real guitar and real piano so that there’s this organic feeling to every song.”

Originally from the San Francisco area, Gryffin began his musical journey by taking up piano at age seven. In high school he added guitar to his repertoire in addition to writing his own music for the first time. While studying electrical engineering at University of Southern California, Gryffin broadened his sonic palette by diving into the world of electronic music and teaching himself production with a downloaded copy of Ableton. “I got started during a really exciting time for electronic music — I remember thinking I’d never heard sounds like that before,” recalls Gryffin, who lists the early work of artists like Skrillex and Avicii among his first influences. “It all felt so fresh and new to me, and I wanted to see if I could make music like that too.”

Since the November 2016 release of Ananya Birla’s debut international single “Livin’ The Life” on Universal Music Group, the single has crossed 2.5 million audio streams while the music video has been viewed over 5 million times on VEVO/YouTube. The single also peaked at a high #11 on the Shazam Top 100 India songs chart which is a tough chart especially for a brand new artist with an English song!

Riding high on this success story, the single is now officially remixed by world renowned Dutch DJ AFROJACK. The brilliant remix with Afrojack’s inimitable EDM stamp on it elevates the song further and takes it to a whole new level. To support the remix, there will be a music video which will soon launch on Ananya’s VEVO channel.

The remixed single will be released Worldwide on 3rd March`17 on Universal Music Group’s dance imprint PM:AM Recordings – a global dance network supporting established labels Virgin EMI, Island, Polydor, Astralwerks, Casablanca, AfterCluv and more.

Sharing her excitement on the release of the official remix, Ananya Birla says:

“Music has always been my magic. It’s an artist’s dream to get their work remixed by Afrojack! I hope this track gets people on their feet, dancing! I want to convey a heartfelt message through an upbeat track. I am very grateful to PM:AM Recordings for having given me the opportunity. Devraj has been my mentor through it all and I would like to thank him and the entire UMI team. I want to continue to make and release music for as long as I possibly can. I hope my music can inspire people and touch their lives in a meaningful manner.”

Afrojack added:

“Music has the power to broaden horizons, I made this remix to try and show the potential of unexpected collaborations”.

Devraj Sanyal, Managing Director and CEO of the Universal Music Group in South Asia stated:

“We are thrilled to have Ananya as the first Indian artiste to get a worldwide release through PM:AM Recordings! It’s a huge moment and we are confident that this will open up doors for many more of our exciting new talent! To see the single being pushed in territories well beyond our shores is simply awesome. With this, we truly believe that Ananya is well on her way to achieve loads of success with her music and UMG will be right beside her mentoring and guiding her all through this very exciting journey!”

This was followed by a remix of Shawn Mendes “Stitches”, before they dropped their interpretation of Mike Posner´s track “I Took a Pill in Ibiza”. The now famous remix exploded on Spotify, giving the trio international traction almost overnight. It rose rapidly up the Global Spotify Charts and even sat as high as #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
